How ridiculous is it for partners at Deloitte to ask us NOT to post on FB when they are handling layoffs so poorly?

Under the National Relations Act of 1935 we have the right to discuss pay OW1 and telling us what to do and say in our free time is a potential infringement on our rights including freedom of speech that even if they could come up with a "reason" to argue they had a right to tell us what to post it would be a public relations night mare. OW1 if you wished up you might be working for a better firm!

By the way, they actually can tell you not to post on Fishbowl, and they can tell you not to share salary information. The question is whether they're willing to take action against you for it. In theory they could fire you if they wanted.

In light of the current layoffs and new associates being offered 70-75k, how likely is it that associates who were hired last year at 60-65k will receive a raise so we're not earning less than the new hires? Anyone in the know?

Honest question: how are they "handling it poorly". Sounds like the firm didn't do well this year and is having to take the tough task of letting people go. Not saying its good or fun,
But what could they do to handle it "better"?

To be clear: super bummed for my Deloitte brothers and sisters. Several of my practice were let go this week as well. Just not sure what "good layoffs" look like.

Ok. The National Labor Relations Act does allow you to talk amongst yourselves about pay. Though employers routinely violate this rule without penalty because enforcing it requires the employees bringing a case before the NLRB, which is often hamstrung by politics. But, it does not protect you from communicating about pay or anything else with the public. It may be bad for PR, to fire people over FB posts or Glassdoor salary disclosures, but it's not prohibited as D4 suggested.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
